    QRM in abundance.

    G0MTN  
    More fun with a wire at 5ft.  Fortunately new antenna since installed.

    G0WJX  
    Found using the laptop and operating difficult.  Useful program but practice needed.

    G3VQO  
    Activity seemed lower than ever.  I knew it was time to give up when I realised that it was more interesting listening to a non-contester complaining that his bacon-flavoured crisps did not taste of bacon!

    SOAPBOX:


    G3WVG   
    Because of the low activity, only the first 30 mins is a "contest".  The remainder is just dull.  No matter how fast you sprint at the start the rest of the pack will catch up in the last hour.  First 30mins=32qsos.  Next 30mins=10qsos.  Last 30mins=6qsos.

    G3TXF   
    With three times the present number of stations all crammed into about one third of the spectrum, this'd be a whizz contest.

    G4FNL   
    Good to work the usual entrants in this Sprint.  Unfortunately, there are still insufficient people active in the contest to make it totally enjoyable.  Let's all try and persuade our fellow club members to get on for the next few events.

    G8FCQ   
    Conditions OK to GM-land.  Little activity 3600-3650.  Shame not more stations on.  One chap on late, sounded like a plague of locusts calling him !!

    GW0ETF   
    Contest activity even less than usual - perhaps many were keeping their mikes dry for CQWW this weekend.

    G3HRH   
    All the activity seemed to be above 3700.  Quite busy despite EU QRM - some deliberate QRM.

    G3RRL   
    Very crowded but good conditions and enjoyable.

    G0VDZ   
    1st Sprint I have ever done.  Good fun, but you have to be quick.  Maddening when someone you have already worked beats you to it!

    G0VOK  
    1st time in RSGB Sprint.  Great fun finding all the stations on two segments of the band.  Well done RSGB!

    G7SKR   
    Off to a flying start but unfortunately it didn't last and the last 30 minutes were s l o w.

    G3ZHE  
    Lots of long skip into Europe in Warrington, and the qrm that goes with it.  100W into 90ft doublet at 30ft.  Good fun.

    G0FYX   
    A bit slow tonight.  SD logging went well.

    M0DEG/P   
    Running FT-1000 into a vertical.  Good fun.

    G4EKT   
    QSY good idea.

    G3LIK   
    Late getting started but had fun in the last half hour.  Some stations were very loud and guess they were running more than the 100W allowed.
